Review: Footshooter - The Oasis (Remixes) (Tru-Thoughts)

Time to start 'Folding' again with Footshooters big track of the summer now on the remix by Marla Kether as a  boomerang returns to South London with more remixes and instrumentals.

Last month we had Allysha Joy  and DJ Footshooter (aka Barney Whittaker) dropping the track 'Folding' from debut album for Tru-Thoughts, 'The Oasis' (see review HERE) as "jazzed up" by Marla Kether's remix and this month we get a four track package with 3 instrumental versions.

1. Boomerang feat. Native & Wilf Petherbridge (Last Nubian Remix)
2. Folding feat. Allysha Joy (Marla Kether Remix)
3. Surrey Canal Road feat. James Mollison (Fiyahdred Remix)
4. What You Saw feat. MA.MOYO & Mahon (Anja Ngozi Remix)

Review: Footshooter - Folding feat. Allysha Joy (Marla Kether Remix) (Tru-Thoughts)

Time to start 'Folding' again with Footshooters big track of the summer now on the remix by Marla Kether.

Following on so soon after Australia's leading funk and soul export, Lance Ferguson and his single with  Rita Satch (see review HERE), the cover of Billie Eilish's 'My Future' (out last week, see review HERE), is Tru-Thoughts acting as some musical embassy middle-man and here's Allysha Joy (last seen on Joy Spheres Rees - see HERE).

Not the best analogy in the world as Ms. Joy is based in the UK and DJ Footshooter (aka Barney Whittaker) is based in 'fashionable' South London.  The track 'Folding' appeared on his debut album for Tru-Thoughts, 'The Oasis' (Ed. 'Oasis' in 2025! What was he thinking?) and for this single, the rather edgey track has been smoothed out and jazzed up by Marla Kether's remix.

When I say 'jazzed', the bass is upfront, the synths are equal to the vocals and it's got some Latin percussion now and, is it just me, can I hear echoes of '2 People' (see review HERE)?

Love the orginal, remix and remix instrumental - don't miss this!
